golink is a private shortlink service that runs inside a Tailscale tailnet, letting teams create short memorable go/ links for internal sites. It is a small Go server built on tsnet that stores links in SQLite and can resolve links offline from backups.
Use cases
- run a private go/ shortlink service for my team
- create short memorable internal links on a tailnet
- self-host a URL shortener accessible only to my company
- resolve internal go links offline from a backup
- replace a SaaS go link service with a private one
When to choose
- your team already uses Tailscale and wants private internal shortlinks
- you want a simple, low-maintenance self-hosted link service with access control via tailnet ACLs
- you need offline resolution of links from backups
When to avoid
- you need a public-facing URL shortener for external users
- your organization does not use Tailscale
- you need rich analytics or link management features beyond basic shortlinks
